Don’t reject reality and substitute it with your own – at least not in digital marketing. In this episode, JumpFly‘s advertising experts Alex (PPC Specialist), John (PPC Account Manager), and Nick (Director of Marketplace) discuss widespread marketing myths – and bust them!
They explain why ad campaigns aren’t simply “set it and forget it,” why selling on Amazon isn’t easy, passive income, detailed strategy is a pillar of successful advertising, and more. Think Google Ads are the only ads to invest in? Is making money on Amazon as easy as listing something for sale? Think again!
So put away your Mentos, soda, and sledgehammers (for now), and join us as we bust these myths and misconceptions. To quote PPC Account Manager John, “You’re going into a competitive landscape. Prepare to be competitive!”
